Yeah, why not? What I'd do is first actively promote the "classical"
languages: Latin, Greek, Sanskrit. Maybe Old Irish, Old Church Slavonic,
Avestan, Gothic and Classical Armenian too.
Then, when everybody's got a taste of languages we know everything about,
get 'em interested in PIE.
But I'd also promote Semitic, Egyptian, Kartvelian, Turkic, Dravidian etc.
awareness as well. Why stop with PIE?
